VIEW IT LARGE ON BLACK Similar to a another photo of mine, but with slightly different movement and PP. / It was a struggle to stand still in this. The tripod was slipping, I had to put all my weight on it. By the time I had taken the shot, half the tripod was buried in the beach, and so was my body. If I’d had any shoes on they’d be swimming out to sea :) Nikon D80 / 1/2 sec exposure

Kiama Blow Hole by ~ Selle

Orton Effect applied. F/stop: f/8 / Exposure: 1/250 / ISO: 200 Taken at the RedBubble Illawarra Group meet-up on Sunday 8 November 2009. Under the right conditions, large waves enter the mouth of the Blowhole & compress the air within the inner cavity. As the retreating water leaves, it is forced upward by the compressed air, as the mouth is still blocked by the receding wave. The escaping air causes the loud “oomph”, which accompanies the water spout. The main Kiama Blowhole was discovered by George Bass on his voyage of coastal exploration on December 6, 1797, after anchoring his whaleboat in the sheltered bay which became Kiama Harbour. Bass was not, in fact, the first to discover the Kiama Blowhole, as local Aboriginals had for generations referred to it as Khanterintee.

I'm With You In The Stars by Tahnja

Acrylic on oil painting canvas textured paper. Standard A3 I really didn’t have anything much in mind for this in concept, I just wanted to be unrestricted and let it flow in what ever direction I felt I wanted this to go in. I did have a reason for painting another self portrait. The group Bubbler Portraits is currently holding a challenge to paint a portrait of me and I am allowed to enter so I really wanted to attempt something new. I guess I ended up mixing a few different things I sometimes do in my paintings to end up with this result. When I finished it I wanted my beloved to know that I am always watching over him with my great love and prayers…that I believe completely in miracles and in the wonder and awesomeness of God…these were my feelings when I stepped back to view my work. MUCH love, beauty, joy and God’s miracles to you all!! Detail / / /
